About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop and manage high-level project plans, timelines, and budgets — maintaining clear visibility on schedule, cost, and scope without micromanaging task-level execution
Track milestone health (sprint goals, demo targets, major delivery blocks) and report status (R/Y/G) in internal weekly syncs — escalating Reds and Yellows as risks requiring immediate attention
Track progress, risks, issues, and dependencies across the engagement — maintaining a living view of what could derail delivery and what is being done about it
Participate in all governance ceremonies: internal and client kick-offs, stand-ups, retrospectives, and steering committee check-ins
Ensure deliverables meet quality standards and client expectations before they go out the door
Serve as the primary client contact for delivery: day-to-day project management, status transparency, and escalation handling
Provide clear, honest reporting to internal and external stakeholders — leading with what matters, not just what happened
Build trust with client stakeholders through consistency, follow-through, and the ability to have difficult conversations when delivery is at risk
Track delivery scope and surface changes early — coordinating with the GM (commercial implications), PM (value and prioritization), and Technical Lead (feasibility) whenever scope shifts
Own change control from a delivery perspective, ensuring that scope decisions are documented, understood, and agreed across all parties before execution changes
Coordinate change management activities where applicable: user guides, training plans, communications, and rollout sequencing
Ensure smooth handoff and adoption of deliverables — including internal readiness at the client to absorb what's being built
Keep sales, product, and engineering aligned throughout the engagement — acting as the connective tissue that prevents information silos and prevents misalignment from festering into delivery problems
Drive continuous improvement in delivery processes across engagements, contributing to Tribe's evolving delivery playbook

Requirements

What you’ll need

5–10 years of delivery, program management, or consulting experience with clear progression into ownership of complex, multi-stakeholder engagements
Proven track record managing large-scale technical programs — you have personally held accountability for milestones, budget, and client relationships, not just supported someone who did
Strong consulting or enterprise delivery background — comfortable operating in client-facing environments where expectations are high and ambiguity is the norm
Product sensibility — you have genuine opinions about what should be built and why, you engage with the decisions behind the deliverables, and you raise concerns when delivery is drifting from business value.
Disciplined on governance without being bureaucratic — you know how to run a program without creating overhead that slows the team down
Clear, honest communicator at the executive level — you lead with signal, not noise, and you can have difficult conversations when delivery is at risk
Comfort with the fast-moving AI landscape — you don't need to be a model expert, but you need enough fluency to ask smart questions and know when the technical ground has shifted
Experience managing distributed or contractor-based delivery teams across multiple workstreams.
